Reviews
David Nusair wrote on Reel Film Reviews that the film makes a mistake by letting the viewer believe it is a film noir when it is primarily a romance film. His "slow" pace endangers his success; there are too many pointless discussions between the main characters and there is no chemistry between them. The film only offers something exciting to the die-hard fans of the actors involved, but it is not bad compared to the other films published directly on video.
The TV Today editorial team wrote that if a car breaks down, "many films that take one fatal turn" begin. This offers "nice pictures, but too many southern clichés" .
